The modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is a major surgical approach that necessitates the dissection of axillary lymph nodes. As a result, there is more bleeding and the treatment takes longer time. This treatment is used to treat locally advanced breast cancer. Numerous factors, including pain and respiratory depression from general anaesthesia, can impair respiratory function during the post-operative period. Pain causes the thoracic cage's post-operative movement to be restricted and the breathing muscles to become inhibited.
